NAME OCCUPATION Red Weekly 14 September moved a resolution calling upon militants to fight for the recall National Committee of the AUEW (which will meet after the employers' reply to the claim) to call a national engineering strike in the event of the claim not being met. Scanlon opposed this move fiercely. arguing that it would be wrong to be committed to this kind of action at the present time But, despite his objections, the resolution was passed unanimously. The adoption of this resolution is a major step forward in the campaign to ensure that the struggle over the engineering claim is fought with everything the engineering workers have got. The leading militants who make up Scanlon's base inside the AUEW are now committed to the fight for a full-scale national strike to All militants in the industry should follow the lead given by this conference and get similar resolutions through their branches, shop stewards committees and District Committees This development brings a national engineering strike one step closer for this eventuality. Plans must be made immediately for special shop stewards quarterlies and a national conference of engineering shop stewards delegates to map out a strategy and take over the running of a national strike if it should be called. Militants in other industries must make immediate preparations for the organisation of mass solidarity with any industrial action taken by the engineers in pursuit of their claim.
